Scott, Bozon, and Rich talk Nintendo DSi, yet another series of Apple rumors, and Mana potion.

By Scott Lowe

Tune in this week for episode 31 of IGN Gear's Tech Fetish podcast, where Gear Editor Scott Lowe, IGN Nintendo's Bozon, and IGN Comic's Rich George discuss and dissect the latest in tech and gaming hardware news. First off the bat, we talk about last week's announcement of the Nintendo DSi. We discuss the new handheld's features, potential impact on holiday sales, and our hopes for new software. After our rather lengthy discourse on the latest handheld, we move on to the utter disappointment that was Los Angeles' E for All games convention. We give our full "meh"-addled impressions of the show, and discuss our discovery of the Mana energy potion. We also make mention of our Mana potion macro contest, which we encourage our snarkiest readers to partake in.

Moving on, we talk about the MacBook "brick" rumors, which seem to point to a new method of producing the aluminum casing in MacBooks and MacBook Pros. Continuing on the Apple train, we move on to Apple Co-Founder Steve Wozniak's recent claims that the iPod is in its last throes. Thoroughly amused by Wozniak's claims, Bozon issues a gag order.
